La Compagnie has been synonymous with premium business travel since it first took to the skies in 2014. Its purpose – offering daily direct business-only flights from New York to Nice, Paris or Milan. 9,000 flights and 480,000 passengers later, La Compagnie has reached new heights of comfort and service for the All-American business traveler.

Sky-High Comfort

Since June 2019, the airline has operated an Airbus A321neo aircraft. With an intimate 76-seated 2×2-configurated set-up, La Compagnie provides ample personal space and a boutique cabin experience for all passengers. Warm LED lighting boosts the ambiance, and convertible bed seats give the option of fully reclining for an undisturbed flight’s sleep.

With an adjustable reading light, power outlets and unlimited high-speed Wi-Fi, you can easily curate your own in-air agenda at no extra cost. You can also enjoy a personal TV screen built into the headrest in front of you, showcasing a monthly selection of films and music to soundtrack your travel.

Tools for Relaxation

When it comes to winding down, La Compagnie has you covered. The airline partners with Petit Bambou, a European-favorite meditation app, to provide a dedicated air travel wellness program to help increase mindfulness and reduce travel-related stress.

On board, passengers are treated to quality hypoallergenic pillows, a cloud-soft quilted blanket and a premium travel kit packed with Caudalie skincare goodies to emulate an exquisite resort-level experience.

A Taste for Luxury

The airline’s menus are refreshed each month featuring bespoke creations by renowned chefs such as David Toutain and the Tourteaux brothers. For overnight flights between New York and Paris or Nice, you’ll enjoy a light supper of salad, soup, cheese, and sweets, followed by a full breakfast upon waking.

All other flights between Paris or Nice and New York serve up a four-course meal featuring a chilled appetizer, a choice of a hot main course, artisanal cheese, and dessert. Before landing, you’ll be given the opportunity to indulge in a light sweet or savory snack, punctuating your journey with a final note of satisfaction.

Making Strides

It’s not just your experience that La Compagnie attempts to elevate. Its current chosen Airbus A321neo aircraft consumes 30% less fuel than its previous planes, making it the most sustainable aircraft available on transatlantic flights. As the first airline in France to operate this new generation of aircraft, it’s not a stretch to say La Compagnie is at the forefront of smart, sustainable business travel.

In 2025, La Compagnie optimized one of its aircraft by increasing its range by 700 km, now achieving a maximum autonomy of 7,963.6 km. This enhancement further improves the airline’s performance while strengthening its reliability, punctuality, and quality of service.

Business Minded

Another smart perk of La Compagnie is 100% Flex. This unique offer allows passenger tickets to be changed without fees because the airline understands some decisions are out of your control. And for those decisions that are in your control (like how to spend your 5-9 outside of the office), the airline invites you to bring your sports equipment onboard at no extra charge. There is truly no better way to fly to Europe while still having peace of mind knowing that changes can be made to accommodate your changing schedule at any time.

Coupled with fiercely accessible and competitively priced tickets, La Compagnie has unlocked a new expectation in premium corporate travel.
